review 1: Unabridged audio.I prefer this take on the end time prophesies (from the bible) to the one found in the The Left Behind series by quite a bit. It's not so drawn out nor "quite" so "hokey". I could never really get into the Left Behind books.In this volume the story continues and to go much into it or give details would require spoilers. In this one Christopher makes some grand pronouncements. The identity of the 2 prophets is revealed...and well the story continues. These books are also an attempt to do a novelization of the events in the Book of Revelation. It's enjoyable (if that word can be used about a book telling the story of "the end time") but remember...it is a "novelization". By that I mean I don't find anything objectionable in it, but neither do I agree with al... morel the "doctrinal statements" made. I suppose any Christian reading this will find points of disagreement. Still, it's respectful of Christian belief and falls pretty much into what I'd call, "main line Christian beliefs". This is a well written book and I enjoyed the trilogy. I'm a Christian but unfortunately often what is sometimes called "Christian Fiction" isn't quite up to the same level of quality as it's secular counterpart. This series is. Recommended.
review 2: So this kicks the pants off the money institution that is the "Left Behind" series. Although this book is in the same vein, it actually uses things into today's culture to show how prophecies in the book of Revelations can occur without all the obvious fire and brimstone everyone else is banking on. Today most Christians lack a sense of reality and really just long for the end to come to prove their faith the "best ever." They miss the true teachings they were asked to learn. (I'm a Christian as well, so I'm not saying anything other than the truth about a group of people I choose to be a part of.)This book does a hell of a job showing the character that is to become the antichrist truly being a pawn. This character shows how easily we "humans" can stray from the truth, even if it is with the best of intentions. This book (trilogy) is so well written on so many levels that it should be read in church groups with the intention of it being broken down and discussed. Without questioning who we are and what we believe, we are nothing greater than sheep being lead by the wolves. As a secong book in the series it is wonderful and just a bit less impressive as the first, but you can't stop reading the whole thing can you? I mean you have to make it to the end. The end better be good because it is building there! less

Excellent fiction can hardly wait to read all of Acts of God (3 in the trilogy)

Better than "Left Behind" but disappointing.
